Wow. You know quite a bit about parenting... Is there a chance that you are a parent yourself? Haha

Yeah she is. I maybe remember her saying that her son and Lui share the same birthdate? Right Cat?

I have a 3-year-old son and a baby daughter.  Screaming purple-faced tantrums in the toy aisle, I've soooooooo been there...  :/

One thing I will add- there is an ignorance factor.  The first time I looked at Beyblades, I thought "Big deal.  It's a top.  This toy is centuries old, they're just reinventing the wheel."  I didn't know that they were customizable, that each model behaved differently, that you could employ strategy with them, or that they borrowed from mythology and history.   I also didn't know that battling spinning toys was an old custom that dated back to Japan's Kamakura period, so there is a cultural element to it.   In short, parents may think this is simply a top with fancy embellishments, missing what makes it an interesting hobby.

That's right.  I empathize with Lui's mom for spending all of Christmas Eve in labor.  That ain't fun.

I'm an adult and I love Beyblade! helps keep my son off video games and it's fun to learn about physics.
